One of the most remarkable salt
beds in the world is located on the
isle of Petit Anse, southwestern Lou
isiana, l25 miles due west from New
Orleans, The deposit is pure crystal
salt. So far as it has been traced there
are $50 acres of unknown depth ex-
pfored 40 feet down. The surface of
the bed undulates from one foot above
to six feet below tide level. BY
analysis thesalt is 60.S8 per cent pure.
The position of the salt shows it to be
older than the coal and sandstone
which lie above it.

PROHIBITION now prohibits to
some extent in Washington city.
The district authorities have not
only succeeded in effectually closing
the saloons there on Sunday, but
have also put stop to the serving Of
liquors at the hotels on that day. All
cities have prohibitory laws against
Sunday liquorselling, but the whisky
men manage to evade these laws. If
the same tactics are adopted every
where as the Washington authorities
are pursuing, Sunday liquor selling
will be broken up all over the coun-
try. The new ruling is, upon second
conviction of violation of the Sunday
law, the saloon keeper forfeits his
license, and "no license will be
granted to the person offending, nor
to any one else occupying the premi-
ses upon which the offense was COM
mitted, during the license year then
next ensuing"

Speaking of sightseeing in the De-

But they show wonderful freshness
about the time-worm business. There
is nothing perfunctory about the man
who exhibits the rogue's gallery, or
the piles of counterfeit money, or the
secret service room and only a person

many times he has told the same

failing brightness of expression and
quaintness of humor.

THERE is no mistaking the fact
that there is a very healthy public
sentiment growing up against the
practice of respectable (?) whisky
drinking, and against those who in
bulge in it. 1t is ceasing to be res
pectable for young man to frequent
liquor saloons, although he may
drink very moderately, and never
get "out Of the way"so to speak.
Young men who go to the saloons
occasionally, and who drink just lit
tie now and then to be sociable, do
not enjoy the same degree of respect
and confidence from the solid, think
ing men of the community, as they
would if not given to these practices
ut all.

The Nashville Union came out in
a colemn editorial last Tuesday, spe-
cifying some charges which have
been made against Gov. Taylor, and
giving the names of the parties max
ing the charges, which were to the
effect that the governor had received
pay for making certain appointments.
1t appears that the charges have been
rumored around the streets of Nash
vile for some time past, and now
the Union demands the proof, which
will never be made. While we be-
lieve the Governor will come out of
the whole matter guiltless, it is a
very unfortunate affair which cannot
but give him great deal of annoy
ance. We don't believe the charges
ever had any other foundation than
mad prejudice, and if the Union can
succeed in driving the guilt
home where it belongs, the guilty
parties will receive the condemna-
ton their infa1ny justly deserves.

RECENTLY we made an arrange
ment with a new Washington con-
Germ to supply us with letters from
that city. The only item in the first
letter furnished us which might
have been of any interest was one in
regard to the production and con-
sumption of postal cards. The fol-
lowing extract shows how valuable
that item was: New York uses
about 6,OO0,0 900 cards month, Chica-
go comes next with about 5000, 600
cards in the same period. There are
100000 postal cards manufactured
annually" According to the above
figures New York and Chicago alone
consume 108,OOO,OOO cards annually,
and if only 100000 are manufact-
ured in that time, where does the
surplus for the cities named come
from, and where does the balance of
the country get its postal cards?

PROGRESS of the Manitoba.

The end of the track on the Manitoba
reached and passed the boom town of
Little Muddy this week. An informant
of the Helena Independent says: Work
is being pushed at the rate of five miles
of tracklaying per day, of eleven hours
work. More hours will be worked as the
days get little longer, and two shifts
may be employed. Business goes along
like clock-work. -Four thousand teams
are strung along the grade and $50 are
employed in hauling ties and bridge tim
bers to the front. Water tanks are built
at distances of ten miles ahead of the end
of the track, and six heavy locomotives at
the front have double tanks, so that there
will be no delay in getting water. Thlr-
ty-two spikers are employed constantly
and six cars dropping rails. Trains are
moving to the front constantly. The
boarding houses and company stores are
all on wheels. Low wages are paid and
pay day comes only once in two months.
An excellent class of men, teams and
general outfit are employed and there is
very little rowdylsm or general demorali-
zation such as generally attends large
construction force. Work is pushed in
every way. A section contractor is given
so much time IN which to do his work
and il it is not finished IN the allotted
time the construction company put men
and teams on the job and finishes it up
quickly, charging the expense to the con-
tractor. Push, push, push, is the con-
slant order and nothing is spared to car
ry out the policy. Money is scarce, and
it is not very enticing country for any
one who does not care to engage IN real
hard work.

Dennis Manton was convicted of muir
der in the second degree at Deer Lodge
this week and sentenced to twenty years
in the penitentiary. The Butte Inter-
Mountain, speaking of the crime, says:
The murder for which Manton was tried
took place last winter and was reported at
the time. Mantcn and his wife lived
about two miles and half from Drum
mond. They went to town together and
got pretty drunk, and on the return trip
Manton left his wife lying on the ice over
small stream that they had to pass, she
being too drunk to help herself. He went
back the next morning, hltched horse to
her and dragged her home. She died the
next day. Manton is an cx-convict, and
was released from the penitentiary chiefly
by the efforts of fine wife whom he thus
cruelty allowed to die.
